Welcome to the biggest collection of Doctor Who links available on the net right now. This post has been getting put together slowly over the last few weeks and I battled with a flaky internet connection for a few hours yesterday to finish it off.

Perivale, Greenford, Middlesex. Parts of the Perivale were regularly used for filming Doctor Who and feature prominently in "Survival", transmitted originally: 22 November 1989 to 6 December 1989 and was the last story to be transmitted until the 1996 TV movie.

YouTube - Doctor Who and the Beatles. A clip from the 1965 episode 'The Chase' where the Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki watch the Beatles play 'Ticket to Ride' on the Time/Space Visualiser.

YouTube - Making of the Doctor Who theme (full): "Footage of the early 80s remake of the doctor who theme song for the show of the same name by Peter Howell. Get a great behind-the-scenes view of how it was made and close glimpse at the equipment used.

YouTube - Doctor Who titles mix. Every Doctor Who credits sequence with a mix of the various theme tunes - from William Hartnell in 1963 to David Tennant in 2006. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Someone (the very same person who recently slated Boing Boing for lazy blogging amongst other things) at MetaFilter even managed to give me a small linkback after copying the whole post word for word, posting it there and accepting the plaudits from fellow Metafilter readers for all the amazing work they had done by gathering the links.
I wonder why they could'nt just link to my post?

2nd EDIT: Seems jessamyn from Metafilter spotted what he had done but his excuse was so lame.
